Christmas day calm saturday morning cartoon fests hide and go seek till dusk The Flinstones at lunchtime Ernie but not Bert unlocked doors and friendly neighbours high school (kinda) porches on a summer's night the crackle of vinyl records lying on mediterranean beaches diving into the waves the smell of old books holding hands panting and afterglow my name whispered in my ear your smile your love you.. ____________________________________________________ I don't know if this poetry? I know it's a lament of sorts..i think i'll go to bed now my eyes are burning.. [This message has been edited by Aenimal (03-07-2003 02:06 AM).] |

Raph, I loved the poem about things you love and miss....I also like the way you tapered it off to one word. Really neat...  Hugs, Ethel |

Raph - you just brought me back to some memories there - I think all of us miss so many of the same things . . . lol @ Bert silly The ending - my heart sank with you - I am speechless - sorry that it is but a memory for you - wishing it wasnt - I feel the ache in those last words This was excellent - as always - xxoo |

This was a triple "R" piece--Real Raw Write! A slice of your reality with which many of your readers could undoubtedly identify--I know I certainly did. You evoked emotions and memories which, in my mind definitely marks this write as poetry. Sending you some dew drops to ease your stinging eyes---and I shall keep some for myself... Warm morning hugs, EA |

I realize I don't respond to your stuff as much as I should, because I do read it all. I love this and most all of your work. You almost always hit a nerve of understanding. Susan |

As a matter of fact - now considering that you are still watching Sesame Street it is no wonder you see me as much older - mentally - heheheh gotcha! [This message has been edited by littlewing (03-07-2003 09:36 PM).] |

Gemma hot under the collar no no no..um..why did it work? You should know my poems end on a bittersweet note by now. One day i'm truly going to surprise eveyone and write something happy or full of hope! Bert better?! You're insane, ah well everybody's entitled to their own opinion i guess, however insane they may be.. Sue I see you as mental all right..and what's wrong with watching sesame street? It's very progressive what with the same sex relationship of Ernie and Bert, the delusions of Big Bird (yeah of course you see a giant whooly mammoth we believe you) The conjoined twin monster, and Oscar the homeless guy everything in life is covered.. |

Raph--what gives this warmth, is its honesty and a bit of vulnerable. (it's not easy being green--my favorite) |

 (big hugggssssss) Oh Raphael, I too miss so many of these things, dearest friend, life should be far more simplistic just like this as I hate to move on from all of this too! (sad sigh) Very well-said, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Raphael, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you!

Well you list certainly conjured up great memories for me, but the list I have is way different than yours. I like your idea of a list of things you hate you don't miss, and I think you should start one in the forum and we all add to it, since it was our idea. I bet it will grow as long as the Geography thread. |

Now that you've distorted my childlike view of Sesame Street *sigh*...well at least you didn't diss poor sweet Elmo! As I was remembering your list of things you miss...I was drawing back into my memory bank...till the end of your poem I was brought back to reality with a slam against the brick wall in my head. Love the way you brought everything to one word... Great job...can't we vote???? |

Sue..curly block nyuk nyuk KristieSue sorry if i spoiled it for you, you really shouldn't mind me I'm just insane,and as for Elmo..sigh I once worked in the toy division of a dept. store..well i was there during the tickle me elmo phase and all its offshoots. The company the makes them decided it would be best to put a TRY ME label on the box..add that to the general stupidity of kids and parents who thought it would be funny to hear them all go off at once..do you have any idea what 50 Elmo's going off at once sounds like. the little @&$#&# is satan in my eyes..calm down raph..i'm ok...i'm ok |
